Chinatown Bangkok, locally known as Yaowarat , is one of the oldest and most vibrant neighbourhoods in Bangkok. It’s famous for its street food, gold shops, markets, temples, and neon-lit streets — especially along Yaowarat Road.
Chinatown is widely considered the street food capital of Bangkok. At night, Yaowarat Road transforms into a massive open-air restaurant.
Established in 1782, around the same time Bangkok became Thailand’s capital under King Rama 1, the area became the main settlement for Chinese immigrants, mostly from southern China. Over time, it grew into Bangkok’s primary trading and business district..
